New venture capital funding will help expand laser weeding technology into row crops.
Founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics Paul Mikesell says the LaserWeeder uses artificial intelligence to eliminate weeds.
“In any particular crop, our machine has learned the life cycle and development of that crop and the weeds in that field, and then all those machines know that information so they kind of cross-learn from each other,” he explains.
He says the current 20-foot machine can cover about two acres an hour in produce crops and efforts are underway to go bigger.
